Icon Request: Additional `clock-fading` variants for different expiration states

### Icon name
`clock-fading-*`
### Use cases
I like the existing `clock-fading` icon, but I'd need it expanded into a small set of variants that represent different stages of expiration instead of just a single "fading" state.
Some examples where this would be useful:
- Showing how much time is left before a temporary session expires (e.g. session timeout warnings).
- indicating different expiration stages for temporary files, caches, invites or download links.
- Representing the remaining lifetime of ephemeral content like messages or notifications.
- Displaying progressive timeout states in dashboards or monitoring tools without relying only on color.
My idea isn't to represent exact percentages, but rather a few distinct visual states (for example: barely faded, half faded, mostly faded and fully faded). Similar to battery or signal icons, these would communicate progression at a glance while keeping a consistent visual language.
I'm mostly looking for feedback first. Does this sound like something that would be useful to others or is it just my use-case?

Another part would be the name-scheming.
Here are my ideas:
- `clock-fading-low`, `clock-fading-medium`, `clock-fading-high`, `clock-fading-full`
- `clock-fading-start`, `clock-fading-middle`, `clock-fading-end`, `clock-faded`
Another idea that feels overly descriptive:
- `clock-fading-quarter`, `clock-fading-half`, `clock-fading-three-quarters`, `clock-fading-full`
### Design ideas
Just rough concepts to better convey what I mean:
